Launched: 2018 Mini Cooper

The British marque, Mini, launched its 2018 Cooper range of cars in India. This includes the 3-door Cooper S, the 3-door Cooper D, the 5-door Cooper D and the Convertible Cooper S.

The 2018 Coopers are equipped with new LED headlights with Matrix function, LED rear lights with Union Jack design, new alloy wheels, three new body finishes – Emerald Grey metallic, Starlight Blue metallic and Solaris Orange metallic. Wait, there’s more. The updated Coopers also get new leather trims, new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and the most important one – a brand new logo. Yes, Mini has a new logo!

If you want to spend some extra cash on options, well, Mini has got you covered. Some of the options are an 8.8-inch infotainment system, a sunroof, Apple CarPlay, a 360W Harmon Kardon sound system, wireless charging and a 6.5-inch instrument cluster.

Under the hood, it’s the same 2.0-litre, 189bhp, turbo-petrol powering the Cooper S and the Convertible, but now, it gets mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The updated Cooper D also uses the same 1.5-litre, three-pot, turbo-diesel motor as the pre-facelift model. While the power figures are identical as the previous ones, Mini claims that the 2018 Mini Cooper reduces fuel consumption by five percent.
